Surfin’ USA

Easter greetings

Happy easter or “glad påsk” to everyone! I hope you have a few nice and relaxing days, wherever you are. Here in Gothenburg the weather has just turned rather nice, sunny and little clouds, perfect for a public holiday.

By the way, my presentation on Wednesday went fine I think. Now I just need to finish my report (i.e. the conference submission) until Friday. Although I’ve completed quite some part of it there’s still a lot to do, thus I will remain busy for the next days…

April weather at its best

Currently the weather situation changes rapidly: Yesterday we had sunshine, rain and snow, all more or less within one hour! Crazy… and really annyoing But I have to spend most of my time indoors anyway, working on my presentation and thesis paper. Also I’ve heard the weather is not really that much better in Germany…
As for the thesis, I’m making good progress. But as usual there are always a lot of things that one can still do and improve, so I’d better get back to it.

Short but sweet

I just returned from a very short trip to Stockholm: I left early Friday and returned today around noon.
My friend Dain had been travelling Europe with two friends visiting from America for the last week, and their final stop was Stockholm. So I decided, on rather short notice, to join them on their last day (and night) and got myself a last minute train ticket.
Having arrived in Stockholm I met up with the guys, we did some sightseeing and had a beer in a bar, after which Dain and I went to check out the Stockholm nightlife — his friends were too tired from their travels, so they skipped this part. Anyway, Dain and I ended up in an Irish pub with live music, where we had a fun time until early next morning.
After only a few hours of sleep for Dain and me, the two visitors got on their way to the airport to fly home, whereas the two of us caught a train back to Gothenburg.
So although it was quite exhausting and I didn’t get much sleep, it was a very nice trip.
